BilIie Joe Armstrong Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 I remember having no interest in it when it came out. I bothered to listen to it about 2 months later, then forgot about it. Now I occasionally enjoy it - not bad at all!
The Great Saiyaman Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 Still pretty shit, but at least it's better than Uno and Dos!
amberwhite Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 Got the cd, popped it in my car immediately, hit "repeat" before Brutal Love was halfway through.
Hermione Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 I thought this was going to be a very early Tre Cool birthday thread But happy birthday to Tre! Wonderful and varied album containing the best song of the trilogy and one of my at least top 5 all time favourites by Green Day, Brutal Love . 8th Avenue Serenade is another particularly great song with beautiful lyrics, and same goes for X-Kid, Missing You and also The Forgotten, love that they went full on ballad with strings and everything and it's a nice sentiment to end the albums on. And Dirty Rotten Bastards is very cool. I always liked all the albums but this is the one that has grown on me the most, just has some really lovely songs. Also I was so very happy to see this live
Private Ale. Posted December 5, 2015 Author Posted December 5, 2015 X-kid is , for me , one of the best green day songs.i actually got into gdc to say that in the first place.X- kid is amazing. i fail to see why kerplunk or dookie fans don't like this song.This song is underrated,overhated but then i actually think the same things for Green Day.
21guns&novacaine Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 I remember grabbing a copy a few days after it's release. Dos had put a bit of a sour taste in my mouth, and I hoped this one wouldn't be the same. (I actually loved Uno, to be honest ) Brutal Love has such a lullaby-like intro, that you can envision so many things listening to it. After listening to the whole album, I gave it a day or two to settle, the way you do after you watch an incredibly good movie, and have to take time to comprehend what just happened. The album went on repeat for weeks, just like the albums before it, but it has a very special place in the musical section of my heart.
Fuzz Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 I saw this on the green day reddit as well. Am i going crazy or did the album not come out for a couple more days? Edit: Yeah, it was out the 11th worldwide. A few countries got it on the 7th. http://www.greendayauthority.com/news/3788/
Hero_Of_The_Hour Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Yeah but I was really lucky...greenday.com screwed up my order and sent it to Germany (Germany??!!) so I got it in February So glad I had bothered to preorder it in July Anyway after Dos Brutal Love was serious ear therapy and I have nothing but love for Dirty Rotten Bastards and 8th Avenue Serenade. Oh and Walk Away. Yeah...Actually forgot how much I like some of the songs on this album. Definitely the best of the three.
AlissaGoesRAWR Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Decent album. Definitely my most-played of the three these days, although that's not saying much. I think I'll always have bitter feelings toward it because it was a "hey, your first Green Day concert was canceled, but here's a third new album a month early" consolation prize.
ThranaM Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 I dunno why, but when the album came out I got this huge Christmas spirit. Have no clue why, but I still do when I listen to it Personally I think 99 Revolutions and X-Kid are the best ones
DookieLukie Posted December 7, 2015 Posted December 7, 2015 "Brutal Love" was the first song in quite a while that just blew me away first listen. You know, that intense feeling when you're just completely moved by a song? I overplayed it, but sometimes I still get that jolt when I listen.

I remember when I sat down to listen to the album for the first time I had to skip back and listen to it again several times before I could move on to track two.

Ooh no definitely the way bj says flesh - gets me every time. Also keep this thread going another day & we can wish tre a happy birthday.
Private Ale. Posted December 8, 2015 Author Posted December 8, 2015 "I fell in love but it didn't catch the fall You fell in love but then you just fell apart" These two lyrics make much more sense when they're combined.I love x-kid.
UNICORN VOMIT Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 From album to actual birth date - its the 9th in Oz so happy bday Mr Tre Cool.
